Then I suppose the thing to do is keep searching for close approaching MPs that are bright enough for BMD or others to observe. The latest DBPS of the NEA Today data found 52 objects that will be within 0.05 AU on Oct 17. I only had half of them in the DBPS that I ran on Oct 10. Someone's been very busy hunting MPs in that time.
This could get pricy using an iTelescope. Many of the MPs that turn up only reach 17th mag, if that. Someone with a 24 - 36 inch scope could catch them.
